Hmm, dunno; I've never used Apple e-mail, but instead Thunderbird. But, two things:

1) Cortana is not an e-mail program; thus, I suspect it would try to search your mail regardless of what e-mail client you use.

2) Cortana is one of the new breed of "AI" programs that operates off of a centralized server rather than on your local computer. Therefore, any and all of the data it collects can and will be sent to Microsoft for processing. (Apple may do this with Siri as well, but I don't have an Apple phone to check, and Siri hasn't yet been pushed to OS X.)
